Man, 60, Drowns In Canal

A 60-year-old Pompano Beach man drowned after his car skidded into a canal following an accident on State Road 80, according to the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner`s Office.

The body of David Shipp, 60, was pulled from the canal early Sunday. A spokesman for the Florida Highway Patrol said Shipp`s car was traveling east when it crossed the center line and crashed into a westbound vehicle driven by Albert Tarr of Fort Lauderdale. Tarr was unhurt.

The force of the collision sent Shipp`s car through a guardrail and into the canal, the FHP spokesman said.
